Club Allocations

When a club is recognized by the Associated Students Council each semester, they have the ability to receive base allocation money, or seed money to spend on club activities. If a club wants to host an event that will cost more than what they have been initially allocated or have been able to fundraise, the can receive an additional allocation from the ICC if all the necessary steps are followed. Below you will find information on base allocations and additional allocations.

Base Allocations

In the Fall semester, your club must complete all the steps of the recognition process by the fourth week into the semester for $200.00 and by the sixth week into the semester for $100.00. Deadlines will be posted with specific dates on the ICC main homepage.

In the Spring semester, your club must complete all the steps of the recognition process by the third week into the semester for $200.00 and by the fifth week into the semester for $100.00.Deadlines will be posted with specific dates on the ICC main homepage.

Your club’s base allocation should be used as seed money for future fundraising events, club activities and other campus wide events.

A club must spend or forfeit the base allocation within one year, deadline June 1st. If the base allocation is spent, any additional funds (e.g. fundraised or donated money) will be rolled over into your club account for the following academic year (one full academic year is from August through May)

In order to rollover your club account funds from one academic year to the next (Spring to Fall), a Request to Rollover Form must be filled out and turned in by the end of the Spring semester only. Do not turn one in during the Fall semester.

Additional Allocations

Each semester a club can request up to $500 in additional allocations for matching funds or campus wide events by submitting thorough proposals to the ICC Finance Committee. Below you will find an outline of the ICC proposal process as well as the link to the Proposal Form template.

Clubs may also request funding from the VP of Cultural Affairs for events that impact the campus and raise awareness of diverse interests of the college student community.

The Process

1. Submitting the Proposal

Proposals must be submitted to the ICC Finance Committee 21 days before the event (or else be subject to receive only 75% of the requested amount, to resubmit the proposal with amendments, or denial of request). You will either choose to request Campus Wide Funds or Matching Funds. Campus Wide Fund events are free and open to the public. Matching Fund events do not have to be open to the public and you can charge an admissions fee to the event, but your club must also put in the same amount requested in the proposal for no more than $1,000.00 to be spent on one event (i.e. $500.00 from the club and $500.00 from ICC). Submit a hard copy to the VP of ICC and an electronic copy to the ICC email address: icc@mail.ccsf.edu

2. ICC Finance Committee

The ICC Finance Committee will review your proposal. A representative from your club (preferably a club officer) MUST attend the ICC Finance Committee meeting to present the proposal and answer questions of the committee members. The committee may reject the proposal, ask for it to be resubmitted, or make a recommendation to the ICC to approve your proposal.

3. ICC General Assembly Meeting

If the ICC Finance Committee makes a recommendation to approve the proposal, a representative from your club must then present the proposal at the next ICC General Assembly meeting (with the amended changes, if applicable). Bring copies of your proposal and be prepared to answer questions. The ICC will vote to either approve or deny the allocation of requested funds.

4. What next?

The club will spend the money using payment vouchers or requisitions for performers, food, decorations, etc. When you fill out a payment voucher for example, you will use the Campus Wide Fund account number 731032 because the money approved from your proposal is put into this account for your use. If you received Matching Funds, you will use the account 731033. You will also need to transfer money from your club account to the Matching Funds account 731033 so that the Administrative Services Office can see that you have matched the funds. Speak to the Management Assistant or the Associate Dean of Student Activities if you have questions about how to do the paperwork once you the funding was approved by the ICC General Assembly.
